Beyond systemic hypertension: understanding cardiac dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea.
Accessible online at: www.karger.com/journals/res In this issue of Respiration, Alchanatis et al. [1] report their evaluation of left ventricular (LV) cardiac function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) before and after 3 months of nocturnal nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) treatment. The authors attempted to look beyond the known effects of systemic hypertension as...
متن کاملHypertension and obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as a major health burden with strong focus on the associated cardiovascular risk. Studies from the last two decades have provided strong evidence for a causal role of OSA in the development of systemic hypertension. The acute physiological changes that occur during apnea promote nocturnal hypertension and may lead to the development...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea and hypertension.
There has long been a recognized link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the cardiovascular system, no aspect of which has been more studied than blood pressure. Research in OSA has not only demonstrated dysregulation of homeostatic cardiovascular mechanisms but also has furthered our understanding of blood pressure regulatory control. Acute nocturnal blood pressure elevations associated...
متن کاملObstructive Sleep Apnea and Hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common problem which is becoming more common due to the epidemic of obesity. This condition can lead to hypertension through a complex cascade involving the activation of several neurohumoral systems. Treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea often results in the improvement and sometimes the cure of the hypertension. Categories: Cardiology, Internal Medicine
متن کاملResistant Hypertension and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Hypertension (HTN) is a modifiable, highly prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and renal dysfunction worldwide. In the United States, HTN affects one in three adults, contributes to one out of every seven deaths and to nearly half of all cardiovascular disease-related deaths. HTN is considered resistant when the blood pressure remains above goal despite lifestyle modification and...
